OTHER WAYS TO THE LETTER DESIGN

The objective of the workshop was to experiment difference non traditional tools and techniques around the drawn letter.

2013

Typeface created for country brand of Argentina. In a first stage the logo was designed and then expanded to a 6 Weighs family. The project was developed for Future Brand, who was in charge of this country brand in 2013.

The idea was to find a logo with a look that was both contemporary and long lasting. The versatility of this typographic family allows a wide variety of uses for very different situations. From sanserif origin and humanistic spirit, its kind and precise characteristics make it unique. His italics refer to calligraphic stroke to complete the usability in the text.

. Certificate of Excellence in Typeface Design of the Type Directors Club

This typography was requested by writer and humorist Roberto Fontanarrosa. The development of this typography started based on the analysis of his writings so as to digitalize signs at a later stage, being respectful of their morphology although simplifying their shape so as to optimize thir use. To complete this set of characters, it was necessary to generate non existing signs. Anarrosa was used to create texts to match the humour-filled writings by Fontanarrosa published in daily Clarín and ,on Sundays,and in Viva magazine, which corresponds to the same newspaper.

They are based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, one of the places from which a new wave of typographic invention and enthusiasm swept through Latin America over the past decade. The name of their foundry simply means “typeface” or “piece of type” in Spanish — though in slang it also means “guy”. Since its inception, Tipo has aimed to provide highly usable, well-wrought fonts for the discerning publications designer. Among the type designers they convinced to join them is Argentina’s pioneer of digital typography, Rubén Fontana, and their library is expanding. Meet Darío M. Muhafara and Eduardo Rodríguez Tunni, two men with a mission. >> Read more
